Mongoose Junction, St. John’s premiere shopping and dining venue, will kick off the holiday season with its annual ‘Evening in the Courtyard.’ Locals and visitors are welcome to take advantage of specials, sales and a raffle with three prizes: a $500 shopping spree and two $250 shopping sprees. Each purchase at a Mongoose shop or restaurant earns a raffle ticket, so the more you shop, the more chances there are to win. There will be music and live entertainment, as well as numerous bargains and giveaways.
